This review focuses on the therapeutic effects of ions when released in physiological environments. Recent studies have shown that metallic ions like Ag⁺, Sr²⁺, Mg²⁺, Mn²⁺, Cu²⁺, Ca²⁺, P⁺⁵, etc., have shown promising results in drug delivery systems...

Temporomandibular disorders are a group of conditions affecting the temporomandibular joints, the jaw muscles, and related structures. Patients with temporomandibular signs and/or symptoms frequently present with indications for prosthetic treatment....

Competitive darts has become increasingly popular over the past few decades, and efforts have been made to have the game recognized as an Olympic sport in the future. The raised profile of the sport and the associated rewards bring up new challenges...

An important issue with digital impression techniques is the difficulty in replicating the subgingival zone, particularly when abutments are prepared with a vertical finish line. We propose a novel procedure, the reverse subgingival scan (RSS), to de...

Assessment of gait deficits relies on accurate gait segmentation based on the key gait events of heel strike (HS) and toe-off (TO). Kinematics-based estimation of gait events has shown promise in this regard, especially using the leg velocity signal...

Nowadays, digital technologies have brought very important advancements in clinical prosthetic dentistry. However, a full digital workflow is still considered to be challenging in the management of full-arch implant cases with immediate prosthetic lo...

Implant rehabilitation is a daily practice in dentistry, and patients often have heightened expectations regarding both the functional and the aesthetic outcome. Implant–abutment connection (IAC) is involved in the long-term aesthetic quality o...

Alloys of cobalt chromium have been used for decades to create frameworks for removable partial dentures. While cobalt chromium has multiple advantages, such as strength and light weight, the casting process is laborious and requires special care to...

Existing prosthetic knees used by transfemoral amputees have function almost akin to non-friction hinge joints during the running stance phase. Therefore, transfemoral amputees who wish to run need sufficient strength in their hip extension muscles a...

Regulations contain rules setup by (governmental) authorities to control specific aspects of certain industries, which often influences the way companies operate [...]

Nowadays, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is widely considered to be the gold standard for treatment of end-stage knee osteoarthritis. Although the optimal mode of fixation in TKA continues to be an important area of investigation, cementless fixation...

Today, two different types of CAD-CAM fabrication methods for complete denture bases are available besides the conventional protocols: a subtractive milling process from a prepolymerized block of polymethylmethacrylate and an additive manufacturing p...
